La Bene Vita

Saturday/Sunday

Someone keeps moving my cheese around Writing.Com! {e:hem-and-haw} *digs around for the "My Blog" link*

This goal report refers to Friday, because I did absolutely nothing whatsoever yesterday... except teach six music lessons, play a two-hour set at Potbelly, watch the Buckeyes slaughter Penn State, knit a scarf, eat way too much food, attend a Community Association spagetti dinner as a back-up musician (who ended up not needed, but it's fine, it was really for the kids; I was just in case there weren't enough kids), participate in praise band practice, and go out for drinks. Okay, I meant I did absolutely nothing ON MY GOALS LIST whatsoever. *shrug*

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per month.
Pending.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Goal met. Emily launched "You're Worthy of My Praise" this morning. Good song.

Write one new original song per month.
Pending.

Write new lyrics once per day through November.
In progress. I started a piece on Friday, but didn't finish it, and I didn't touch it yesterday.

Earn at least $60 per pay period at Textbroker.
The pay period ended Friday, so this is pending. I received a $10 direct order Friday, which I accepted and have until Wednesday to complete. I also signed up for a $6 open order, due Thursday. Current Balance: $0

Earn at least $25 per month at Helium.
Pending. Current Balance: $0

Complete one Prep challenge per day until complete.
Fail, both Friday and Saturday.

Resign from Abbott by 6/1/10.
In progress.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by Thanksgiving.
Trying-ish.

9:30am Mints (1)
10:45am Mints (1) and a cranberry muffin (2)
11:00am Coffee (1)

TOTAL POINTS 43

I weighed in at 154.0 this morning, OMG. Here's the thing: I discovered that the way to lose weight (for me) was to give up meals, because I'm a snacker, and I'll always be a snacker. It turns out that Keith likes his meals. So we're bad influences on one another, because he snacks around me, and I eat meals around him, so we're both eating double and gaining weight. Gah! There has to be a fix for this. Problem solvers, unite!

Current real estate goal: Organize garage.
No progress yesterday, but Keith fixed the exterior outlet that runs the kitteh warmers.

Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Fail, both Friday and Saturday. Friday was busy as hell, too, because I took a field trip to a sculptor's studio for Abbott. This dude is eccentric as hell, but very talented and full of creative energy: http://www.alancottrill.com

SATURDAY MEALS:
9:30am Coffee (1) and (Lean Pocket?) (5)
11:30am ZonePerfect bar (4)
2:15pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (7)
4:00pm Kathy's! Ugh. Pulled chicken sandwich (7?), slice white chicken & garlic pizza (4?), two jalepeno poppers (3?), about fifteen Tostitos scoops (3?) with cheese dip (2?), two mini snickers (3?), three white chocolate kisses (1.5), one flavored tootsie roll (0.5), something else...
9:30pm Margarita (6?) and half apple pie in a mug (6?)
TOTAL POINTS: 50+ quite possibly.
